Player career

High school and college

Tim Murray came in the summer of 1987 as the son of Michael and Alicia Murray in the Merrimack River town of Haverhill in the State of Massachusetts was born, where he grew up. His high school years, during which he was also active in football, he spent at St. John's Preparatory School in the city of Danvers , a little further south , near the capital Boston , in the Bay of Massachusetts . During this time he also received honors from the Boston Globe and the Boston Herald (All-scholastic; both 2004) and received Massachusetts All-State and Eastern Massachusetts All-Star honors. In 2004 and 2005, Murray, who majored in college business administration , played in the Super Y ODP Region I pool . From high school in 2005 he went straight to Providence College in Providence , the capital of the smallest US state .

While he took a break in the first year and thus brought a red shirt season behind him, he was already in three championship games in the following year, but could not prevail as a regular goalkeeper until 2007. With the team he reached the finals of the NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship in 2006 , but retired with the team in the first round of Region 4 against the team from Hofstra University from the current tournament. Also in 2007, when Murray was in goal in all 19 championship games of his team from the start, the final round of the NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship was reached. Again, the Providence Friars , the name of the sports department of Providence College, were defeated in the first round game, this time in Region 3, against the Old Dominion Monarchs and were eliminated again early.

In 2008 Tim Murray was again in each of the 19 games in the goal of the Friars and in the following year, his senior year, he came for the third time in a row in all competitive games of his team, where he even appeared as team captain. At the end of the 2008/09 season he was elected BIG EAST / Aeropostale Scholar Athlete together with the athlete Danette Doetzel . During his college days, in which he parried 201 shots in 60 games for his team, he was also in 25 league games for the New Hampshire Phantoms with play in the Premier Development League between 2008 and 2009 , but could not be solid with the team Achieve achievements and reached both times lower table positions. To date (as of June 2015) Tim Murray holds the record for the most cross-season shutouts (27) at Providence College.

Professional contract with New England Revolution and permanent replacement

After he was invited to a three-month trial training session at the MLS franchise New England Revolution in March 2010 , he was able to convince after less than two months. At the beginning of May 2010 it was announced that Tim Murray had signed a contract with the Revs at the end of April , primarily to compensate for the loss of the regular Matt Reis and his injured replacement Preston Burpo . However, he did not play a single league appearance in Major League Soccer 2010 and remained in second place in the club's internal goalkeeper ranking after being in the pre-season was ranked 4th. Nevertheless, he was offered a contract extension in 2011, which Murray subsequently signed. After his Providence teammate Andrew Sousa was signed by the franchise at the same time and found his way to the team via the MLS Supplemental Draft , both players made their professional debut on May 25, 2011 when they qualified for the Lamar Hunt in the final US Open Cup of 2011 against Sporting Kansas City were used and there with the team with 0: 5 failed. Murray had already made his professional debut on a short loan to New York FC with play in the then third-rate USL Professional Division , when he was the third league game in the history of the club, a 2-1 defeat against Orlando City , from the start an was used and replaced the goalkeeper Derby Carrillo , who was canceled due to an injury. Although he was not used for the Revolution in this game year in any other competitive game, he had at least seven appearances in the reserve team with play in the MLS Reserve League .

Even in the 2012 game year, which Murray actually spent entirely at the reserves, Tim Murray could not celebrate an MLS debut and remained, as in the previous year, behind Matt Reis and Bobby Shuttleworth as the third goalkeeper. After the expiring contracts of Fernando Cárdenas , Benny Feilhaber , Blair Gavin and Tim Murray were no longer extended at the beginning of December 2012 , Gavin and Murray were entitled to be allocated a new franchise within the Major League Soccer via the MLS Re-Entry Draft . However, since neither team wanted to sign Murray in both rounds, the 1.88 m tall goalkeeper became a free agent . In 2013 he finally found the Carolina RailHawks from the North American Soccer League , the second division, a professional team that signed him. But even with the second division he was denied a regular role, so he ended the 2011 game year with the team in first place in the regular season, in the play-off they were eliminated early in the semifinals, but could only record a single professional league appearance. He was in the 4-0 home win over the Atlanta Silverbacks over the entire game in the goal of his team and was the entire rest of the season substitute for Akira Fitzgerald .

First breakthrough in Finland

Having almost the entire game in 2014 as goalkeeping coach at the College of the Holy Cross spent, Tim Murray signed in March 2015, a one-year contract at just now in the Finnish third division ascended Ekenäs Sports Club , where he through contacts with the local US coach Mike Keeney joined . During this time, JC Mack , another American, transferred to the far north with Murray . His coaching engagement at the College of the Holy Cross, which lasted only one year, he had to end for this time. To date (as of August 16, 2015) Murray has made 19 league appearances as a regular and is currently with the team on the comfortable third place in the table of the Kakkonen lohko Läntinen , a segment of the four-track Kakkonen.

Coaching career

Immediately after graduating from Providence College, Murray was introduced to the Brandeis University soccer team as the new goalkeeping coach for the 2010 game year. He remained in this position in the 2011 game year, before he was hired as goalkeeping coach for the Providence Friars from 2012, although he was expected to continue the following year, before Karl Spratt , his long-time goalkeeping coach , before the 2013 game year at this point another worker, New England Revolution , was replaced as Murray pursued a professional career with the Carolina RailHawks . After he had no prospects of a regular place at the RailHawks , as with the Revs and the FCNY , he decided to work as a goalkeeper coach again in 2014 and was accepted into the football team of the College of the Holy Cross from the 2014 game year . He had to end this engagement before the start of the 2015 season due to his commitment as a goalkeeper at Ekenäs in Finland's third division.
